[nagdu] air line question

Sat Mar 23 14:50:37 UTC 2013

Hello!

Im sorry for forgeting  to mention that my experience traveling with a guide
dog is only in Europe. Once  when I visited Atlanta, USA then I was too
afrayd  to take my dog with me. 
Its strange I know beacuse now when im reading all your experiences  then
it really is gonna be  different next time when  we are coming to visit
USA.
Ofcourse airplane traveling  is gonna be one part of my research work what
im doing. 
Allso we have long way to walk  to reach that point what you have reached in
USA and Canada beacuse for example  Latvia is a country where  are only few
guide dogs and  they started to train dogs only two or three years ago.
Ofcourse we have laws what say that it is not allowed to discriminate
beacuse of a persons disability  but i think that  a thought that person can
move freely   beacuse of a dog  is hard to accept for some people. Specially
for them who are  not dog people or dont know what kind of positive  affect
a trained dog can have on a human.

Wish everybody  very nice beggining of  this years spring!:)smile:)

Julie,
    Thank you for this information. I didn't realize this. Unfortunately, 
not all countries protect the rights of service animal users equally!

Fraternally yours,
marion
